I hear you. I feel like I'm walking a line and cross over from "managing" to "hysterical" every few hours.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you can't remember coping skills. I have to write mine down because I forget when I am scared. Here are some of mine:

*Change scenes--if I'm out, go home; if I'm home, go out--even just for coffee
*Listen to a relaxation/grounding CD track
*Do something to make me move--clean a room or go to the gym
*Draw or paint in my journal
*Call a friend--talk or get together
*Put on a funny movie

I hope you feel better soon
